Genoa in Britain

This weekend of action was surely the most significant political action that has taken place in Europe for decades.
The Italian police turned back the clock to the days of Mussolini and shot dead one protestor as well as cause serious injuries to many others and tear gasing 10,000s.
This weekend put revolutionary politics back on the map and proved to the world that there are those opposed to the capitalist concencus of the USA and the EU. In my opinion Genoa was the second most influencial world event of 2001 after the whole September 11th tradegty.
Unfortunatly Britain has seen little any-where close to Genoa. The only influencial event that occurs is MayDay which is only a once a year and which in 2002 seemed to pass by as if nothing happened.
It is very frustrating for me to be sitting at home doing nothing and going to political meeting when all that happens is just talking.
When are the British Anti-Capitalists going to take to the streets?
I wish that the left in this country were more militant and would actually use the direct action that they always talk about
